Falcons taking calls on Julio Jones

Quote:
A hamstring injury limited Jones to just nine games last season, though he still put up strong numbers when he was on the field. He caught 51 passes for 771 yards and three scores as the Falcons finished the year 4-12. From 2014-19, Jones missed only four games and averaged 104 catches and 1,564 yards per season. SI Link.







From Peter King:
Quote:
Surprises? Keep an eye on Atlanta. I can’t predict any bombshells. But a few things would not surprise me. Most notably, the Falcons putting the framework of a trade together for star wideout Julio Jones, and making the trade effective June 2. That way, Atlanta could split Jones’ cap charge between 2021 and 2022 instead of getting bashed with it all this year. So if such a trade happens, I expect it could involve a future pick or picks, nothing this year. (A future second-round pick as compensation seems fair to me.) Because such a trade wouldn’t be official till June, no picks in this draft could be involved. As for the interested team or teams, I would guess Las Vegas; Jon Gruden couldn’t resist Antonio Brown, and I doubt he could resist Julio Jones. New England too, and a couple of teams with clear receiver needs—Tennessee and Baltimore.

Now, the Falcons don’t really want to trade Julio Jones. He’s a franchise legend. But he’s 32, entering his 11th season, coming off a banged-up year with seven games missed due to injury, and the Falcons are in cap jail. If they could off-load his money and cushion it by splitting it between this year ($7.75 million) and next ($15.5 million), Atlanta’s cap charge on Jones this year goes down by a tad more than $15 million.

One final note here, to be very clear: I am not reporting the Falcons will trade Jones, or will probably trade Jones. I am saying it would not surprise me if it happened.

I'm looking forward to Surtain trying to go one-on-one with Tyreek, especially after he opened his noise flap.

If it ends up a bidding war, we're out pretty much immediately.

In order for the Chiefs to do it the Falcons will have to eat a good portion of Jones' contract. There's just other teams out there with more cap room that won't require the Falcons to absorb some of the cap hit and probably higher draft picks.
This.

I'm not opposed to trading for Jones. The asking price is currently too high for us to afford, that's all.

I’m not betting on KC to pull it off, and I’m not even sure it’d be a good idea. I’ll be along for the ride regardless. I get it either way. Lots of risk involved, but if it’s a hit, you’re going to have a really hard time not winning another ring.
I also agree with this.

Would rather get a DE. Pass rush is more important to this team right now than a WR.

The current regime doesn't appear to be one to simply be content no matter how successful or productive they feel their offseason and draft has been.

Both are right IMO. I’d like to add one of each, at least in the scenario that they did trade for Julio.

But if you add Julio, you are counting on outscoring anyone who does put up major points on your defense regardless.

So we use our all pro offensive line that's gonna give PM15 all the time in the world to find guys...or we run the ball down their throats with our RB who we took in the 1st rd.

Do you? Cause I keep seeing this thread bumped even though most of CP seems to be against this idea of getting him. If you truly "got" it then let this thing die a slow (or quick) death.

We don't need JJ for the cost and picks needed to get him into 1 Arrowhead.
